"Chaotic Influence"

Sometimes we think we know something,but we only know it in the most abstract way, which means, we know it more than anything, it is everything, it is life, experience, it is living and being. It is Verb, It is EXISTING. " Times are tough for Dreamers" and there can be no communication between the hands and the brain unless the heart is mediator.

Sometimes we think we know something, but we only know it in the most abstract way, which means we may not know it at all.

I am interested in making objects that can be seen to have an immediate association with our bodies and nature, but deep down inside them, they are everything. I would like to elicit contradictory feelings of repulsion, familiarity, and attraction.
My work ceaselessly establishes connections between the body; the "Hand" and nature. The sculptures are an accumulation of the unknown, a world far beneath the peripheral view we have become accustom to.
They can be seen as a conglomeration of the dirtiness hiding within everyday life and the abstract beauty lurking far beneath the ocean’s surface, forest’s bottom, or the outer layers of the human skin.
The materials I use are simple wool yarns embroidered together, knot after knot, an accumulation of knots on top of a thick piece of felt. My hand and needle punctures, pulls, folds, and shapes the felt intuitively by the knotting process.
The "Busy"- Hand is a "Happy"-"Hand" which -Feeds into the "Romantic" concept of Cultural Heritage.
The yarn is knotted layer upon layer, transmogrifying the fat, luscious, fleshy industrial felt, into something much more mystifying of an obscure nature.
By combining these elements into clump masses, the work takes on a decidedly dirty and fleshy quality. A transformation from a clean rational understanding to one that is visceral is central to the understanding of my work.
